Comedy from Max Ponsonby

We're celebrating the best creatives where we live, with Nina Das Gupta, including:

• Peep Show's Isy Suttie and Shooting Stars' Dan Skinner are on. Unbelievable chemistry, laugh-out-loud moments galore and locations outside of the studio: The pair share tricks of the trade for creating a visualised podcast in 2026.

• If Stranger Things swapped Hawkins, Indiana for the backstreets of Birmingham: Get to know the Malvern writer transporting his second city childhood as the setting of his new urban horrors, putting chilling twists around the tower blocks and council estates he called home.

• It's the sitcom you never knew you needed. 100% relatable, we shine the spotlight on the Kingstanding scriptwriter who's turned under-11 Sunday matches in to The Office meets Motherland on a football pitch!

• We mark the passing of Live At The Apollo. Cancelled by the BBC but a bucket list for acts up and down the land, Northfield's Lindsey Santoro, Shrewsbury's Alexander Bennett and Oldbury's Darren Harriot all join us, reflecting on what the show meant to them.

• Laughs on superheroes, supermarkets and getting fired: Enjoy a live performance from our stage at the Rik Mayall Comedy Festival, as Bromsgrove's Max Ponsonby brings his big hair, big laughs and even bigger stage presence to the airwaves.
